About Saree

Saree Parry has always been a visual person with a natural talent for design. Growing up in a family full of creatives —  her uncle graduated with a BFA, and her maternal grandmother both designed and made her own clothes — Saree believes the design gene was passed down to her. 

While Saree’s heart was always set on a career in design, she initially pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree at McGill. After then earning her MBA from Western, she embarked on a successful business career, working for a private hedge fund in Toronto. However, her passion for design never waned, and in 2013, she seized the opportunity to combine her business acumen with her creative talent and passion by owning and operating her own Decorating Den Interiors franchise. This transition not only showcased her versatility but also her unwavering commitment to her true calling.

For over a decade, Saree has designed spaces for clients, focusing on what makes them happy. She has experience working in various styles, from farmhouse chic to monochromatic minimalism, bold maximalism, and everything in between. Aside from her extraordinary designs, clients are attracted to Saree’s easy-going nature. 

“People should have the satisfaction of developing their own personal tastes and of expressing themselves in their own homes with originality.“

– Michael Taylor, 1927–1986

This quote struck a chord with me the first time I came across it. As an interior decorator, one of the most fulfilling parts of my work is seeing myself as a medium for my clients. I take what they’ve shared with me and express it in a way they might not be able to on their own, for any number of reasons. Each room I design becomes a reflection of the unique journey that brought us together. And of course, a person’s experiences in life help shape their tastes and preferences, along with so many other qualities.

Today, Saree lives in Orléans. When she’s not working, Saree enjoys traveling, surfing, and learning more about Earth-healing practices. She believes that when you are curious about a subject, you come up with creative ways to address challenging issues, whether they’re big and heady or small yet significant.
